Let's be honest. You let yourself be pulled in because it felt good to be wanted, needed. But then it went too far, as projected images always do. If it's not a real image, but one that has been projected on to you, then you can keep up the masquerade for only so long before the mask cracks and the paint on the mask peels away.

I'm a winter girl. I like coming out when things are desolate and everybody's ready to slit their wrists.
Tori Amos
Image
Anything a wife should do, I'm terrible at. Anything a mistress should do, I'll try.

So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name

When interviews are good, the conversation can be amazing. Sometimes I've had conversations with journalists that I've never had with anybody else.

You don't know the power that you have with that tear in your hand
Tori Amos
Image
It's about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer.
Tori Amos
Image
You know when people smile too much? It's painful. I find it really painful. Happy is not very reliable. I'm trying to live like, um, with a fierce calm.
Tori Amos
Image
The sense of loss is such a tricky one, because we always feel like our worth is tied up into stuff that we have, not that our worth can grow with things we are willing to lose.
